Uhuru hands NASA major blow that will SERIOUSLY affect outcome of August 8 polls

- Uhuru's administration has moved to hand NASA a major setback ahead of the August 8 polls

- The govt has formed a high stakes task force that will scuttle any efforts by NASA to get foreign financial aid

- Jubilee is wary that foreigners could be backing NASA to win the August 8 polls

- NASA has said it will spend every penny available to oust Uhuru from power in the August 8 polls

The National Super Alliance's (NASA) chances of mounting a serious challenge against the Jubilee party in the August 8 polls could be seriously jeopardised if the latest move by the government is effected.

The opposition coalition under the stewardship of Raila Odinga is likely to face serious challenges after the government moved to stop any foreign funding for its campaigns.

According to the Sunday Nation, Uhuru's administration held a high level meeting aimed at finding ways to stop any money from outside the country flowing into the accounts of NASA principals, their cronies or the coalition itself.

The meeting comprised of the Treasury, the National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

It comes at a time when Raila has been out of the country, apparently among other engagements, to meet possible financiers for the NASA campaigns.

Among those suspected to be financing the opposition to remove Jubilee from power are Tanzanian President John Pombe Maghufuli and American donors.

Others are Raila's friends from Nigeria including former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuany.

The government has on several occasions accused the opposition of getting foreign support to destabilise it. This is one of the reasons NASA's engagements with foreigners is being seriously monitored by Jubilee.

However, Siaya Senator and Raila's close ally has said that the opposition fully understands what the law requires about foreign funding and added that any help from foreigners will be done within the law.

“We will accept help from our friends abroad as long as it is done within the law. Whether such help comes or not, we are sure to mount one of the best-financed and organised campaigns in this part of the world,” he said as quoted by the paper.
